There are many different mechanical devices that claim the title of massage chair. That means consumers need to be cautious because it's very important to get a chair with the right features. It's possible to get too few features, but also too many features.

There are several main differences between massage tables and massage chairs. First, massage chairs can be portable, whereas massage tables are stationary for the most part. Portable tables do exist, but are not as common as portable chairs. Massage tables require patients to lie down in order to receive a massage. Massage chairs allow patients to receive massage therapy from a seated position. Finally, when you give a massage with a massage chair, you will not have to bend over quite as far as you will with a table.
